It recently came to light that Cuba Gooding Jr. has filed for divorce after a long-running dramatic streak involving him and his wife. Sara Kapfer had filed for legal separation around three years ago in a controversial move that was highly commented by many, and now it looks like the couple officially wants to put things to an end and move on with their lives.
While many suspected that this is how things would end, it looks like some are still shocked by the move by Cuba Gooding Jr. and there have been some minor discussions about whether or not things could have gone differently. Of course, it’s important to remember that we would never have the full picture like the couple themselves did, and there are many factors that could have contributed to their relationship coming apart.
The marriage of Cuba Gooding Jr. and Sara Kapfer was a long-running one, after they got officially married in 1994. The two have reportedly been together for even longer than that, starting their relationship all the way back in high school and being inseparable since then.
However, things came to an unpleasant halt three years ago when the issues between the two were brought to light and it became apparent that they were moving away from one another. Some followers kept optimistic about what could happen, but as we pointed out above, most didn’t really expect anything good to come out of the situation.
About one year ago, Gooding dropped some hints that things might be moving in a positive direction behind the scenes, and that him and his partner were making progress towards getting back together. This brought the issue back under the spotlight and renewed many people’s hopes that the two will eventually make up, but it looks like the last year hasn’t treated the couple very well.
So far, neither Gooding nor Kapfer have expressed a desire to comment on the situation to the press, and it looks like we’re going to be left in the dark about the details of their separation, at least for now. Of course, that was mostly to be expected considering the sensitive nature of the whole thing, and in fact, we wouldn’t be surprised if things are never completely cleared up.
The main issue on the horizon for both of them right now seems to be the custody over their children, as there are rumors that there might be a rather unpleasant battle coming up on that front. It’s not quite clear what the intentions of either parent are at the moment, but we would definitely expect to see them throwing some nasty surprises at each other if they both feel that their interests aren’t being respected.
Hopefully things won’t get that ugly and we’re going to see a proper, peaceful resolution to the whole debacle. It’s entirely possible that this might happen as well, despite the negative rumors surrounding the situation right now. Let’s not forget that those rumors are difficult to verify for the most part, and many people would have a vested interest in spreading them too.
With that in mind, those observing the situation should always take things with a grain of salt, and ensure that they keep a critical outlook on things at all times. There will likely be some ridiculous claims being thrown around from time to time, and fans should prepare for that situation adequately. In the meantime, we also expect both partners to keep a low profile and avoid drawing too much attention to themselves.
